In America, there are two big political parties: "Republican Party" and "Democratic Party".
The "House of Representatives" and the "Senate" are two houses in American government that make laws.
Last November, there was an election. Most of the politicians that won were from the Republican Party. So, Republicans are now the majority in the House and the Senate.
